I believe it was a West Virginia Republican elector that had been at one time, a Democrat and had some reservations about the legitimacy of the Florida election. He did consider throwing his vote to Gore.

I told you what would happen in my earlier posts.  They would vote on their political beliefs - on the issues.  And you are wrong about their power being diminished.  In both states, the people whose votes were not in the majority still actually count.  Right now, that's not the case.  In states like NE, KS, etc., the number of actual farmers is actually the minority, not the majority.  If the issue was farm subsidies, right now, their votes are not as important, because they are the minority in a bunch of states, never getting the electoral votes.  Their votes are worthless.  If you remove the electoral college, you instead turn those farmers into hundreds of thousands of votes nationally, and that can make a difference.

 

So again, the electoral college does NOT help states rights, not does it help minorities (electoral).  The electoral college really only helps the few states with very large urban populations (and it only helps those urban parts of them).

 

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, you're making zero sense to me..
